Peace talks resume; Uribe calls for rebellion against Santos government
Dec 4, 2014 posted by Piotr Wojciak

Former president Alvaro Uribe on Thursday called out for a rebellion against the government of his successor Juan Manuel Santos over the recent capture and release of a general by FARC rebels.

Now a senator for his own Democratic Center party, Uribe has established himself as the principal critic of the current administration and the ongoing peace process with Colombia’s oldest guerrilla group.

His scathing attacks on Santos and his policies have by now become part of the Colombian political landscape. But even Uribe is still capable of surprises.

“Rebellion” is the latest go-to term used by the former president in his tireless criticism of the current administration.
